I relied on DEC^WIntel 21153 datasheet which says that to turn off
io/mem window this bridge must be programmed with base > limit
values (and the code actually did that).
But this could be wrong for other bridges.
OTOH, we turn off prefetchable memory range this way in 2.2, and
it works...

Thanks for the patch,

Ivan.
